Scene Description: the base of the font seen here on the extreme right -- Source caption: "Hela kyrkobyggnaden synes ha uppförts vid 1200-talets mitt. Ruinen består av ett kvadratiskt kor och ett rektangulärt långhus. Redan vid 1500-talets mitt tycks den ha varit mycket förfallen och övergavs förmodligen under 1600-talet."
